Former Nottingham Forest boss Mark Warbuton has hit out at the “lack of clarity” during his time at the City Ground.

Warburton was sacked on New Year’s Eve after just nine months in charge of the club, and has since been replaced by Aitor Karanka.

He believes it wasn't clear what he expected to achieve this season.

“The biggest disappointment would be the lack of clarity in terms of what represented success this season,” he said.

“Any job you go into, you have to say ‘what represents success this season?’, ‘is it mid-table?’.

“Had we come 10th or 11th this year would it be seen as a bad year or a good year?

“I think you have to know, and I think we were under the impression that if we could build that young squad – and you look at the likes of Tyler Walker, Matty Cash and Joe Worrall, and these young boys, the average age was coming right down.
